Outpatient treatment gives treatment clients the ability to sustain certain obligations and elements of their life-style while taking part in drug and alcohol treatment services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of rehabilitation, and should not be mistaken for the degree of rehabilitation offered in an inpatient or residential rehab setting which can be significantly more extensive. Outpatient treatment could possibly be suited to anyone who has a short history of substance abuse as an example, but will most surely not be adequate for an individual whose rehab needs exceed that which outpatient treatment is prepared to provide. Individuals involved in substance abuse often need a considerable environmental change, because many of the things that trigger their drug and alcohol use are strictly environmental. By way of example, if someone else has been physically or psychologically mistreated and this is prompting their drug abuse, there is no way for any rehabilitation efforts to achieve success should they go back to such situations on a regular basis. In outpatient treatment, individuals can benefit from group and one-on-one therapy, as well as family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most centers will provide services 6 or 7 days per week on either a part time or full time basis for four weeks or longer in some cases.
